GAOTD fake search results

[Raymond]

As we all know the website Giveawayoftheday.com, they offer daily giveaways.
However, their website also runs some "black/gray hat" SEO techniques.
I searched for spgl-11 on Google and GAOTD is at the 5th spot.


There is actually nothing on that site about spgl-11, only full of advertisements and a sentence about other third party somehow related software.

So much for their integrity and rights about piracy when their website is full of useless auto created pages...

One day someone would report it to Google, and there goes their rankings.

Thanks for the info Raymond. I wasn't aware of it myself. Its really too bad that GAOTD resorts to that kind thing.

is this why MBAM Ip blocker alerts me when I visit that site?
Anyway this techinque is pretty sad

Check it out yourself.

Nothing in there is relevant to pluscom spgl 11.
This is only one of the thousands of other fake pages.

amazing: there is nothing free, I was asked to run a "free" scan with a well known scareware or to download a perfectly unknown software which has nothing to do with pluscom spgl 11

Well I think that honestly will have me not visiting their site again.

This is not the first or last time their integrity will be challenged, one reason to use an add blocker if you wish to visit the site..and i have never took a chance on the free scan Leo mentioned for obvious reasons...
i have even tried the search in the past and although listed could not be found.. once bitten you leave well enough alone.

OK let's report it to Google :P
